    Why did the espresso keep checking his watch? He was pressed for time Great lattes and super cool staff. The interior has a really niche vibe! Definitely adding this to my coffee list. Check them out!

    Spaniard never disappoints

    Seems criminal that I haven't reviewed Snowbird yet since I visit it weekly... so here is my overdue review! My favorite local coffee shop. Maybe my favorite in the city. Staff are super friendly and chill and always give my dog Rusty a treat. Coffee is consistent and the Spaniard (condensed milk latte) is my go-to order, delicious hot or cold. Over the weekend they serve delicious Filipino-inspired pastries (ube and calamansi buns from La Kalidad) and they have a solid weekday rotation too. The space is small, some standing room with a selection of their beans and merch on display - encouraging you to explore the neighborhood rather than sit in a coffee shop all day... If you see a line know it's worth the wait!!

    Batch Coffee with Milk

    This is a coffee shop for coffee people and my go-to spot for a caffeine fix. They have a robust (but not extravagant) menu of classic and niche coffee and espresso drinks. They'll do a dirty chai if you ask them (but probably not a PSL - they seem above such frivolity). Probably my favorite thing on the menu is the Spaniard, a latte of sorts made with condensed milk. I would advise trying everything else on the menu first because once you have a Spaniard, you won't want anything else. Also, they use frozen coffee in their cold brew, which I so very much appreciate. Snowbird is primarily a place for good coffee, not for gathering, and the only seating is a bench on the sidewalk outside. However, they have some limited food offerings from local vendors (e.g., Filipino pastries and, more recently, a pop-up sandwich service on weekends). But this is just icing on the proverbial cake. This place is about coffee and they do it really well.

    AMAZING coffee! Recommend getting here early as the line can sometimes be long. Great selection of drinks, fast and friendly service, and great location. There's a bar inside, but not much seating.

    Iced matcha latte with oat milk
    Chloe S.

    Stopped by on a Saturday hoping for a punchy iced matcha latte. I ordered my drink with oat milk and was ready to feel the caffeine course through me. However the matcha fell short of having that signature mildly sweet and earthy flavor. Would love to come back and try some of the other drinks but pass on the matcha latte if you're a matcha fiend.

    Drop in spot. Casual vibe roaster. Can get crowded so be patient. Great taste w/ a solid caffeine hit.

    Finally had the opportunity to come here since they're only opened for a certain number of hours daily. The inside is super cute and this is definitely a to-go place as there's no seating inside or outside. Based on Yelp reviews (thank you fellow reviewers!), I decided to order the Spaniard with almond milk. I was a little disappointed with how small the cup was (especially the price) when my name was called but after sipping it throughout the morning, it did have enough caffeine to get me through the day. It was a really delicious. If you're in the neighborhood, please check this place out!

    No frills coffee shop. No seating / basic coffee drinks and they have just vanilla syrup. I enjoyed my hot cup of vanilla latte! I don't know if this will be my go-to coffee spot since I'm a flavored latte admirer but I wouldn't mind returning if snowbird is an option on my way. Parking is busy, might want to street park a block or two down.

    This little coffee shop was the only local one I could find open in the UCSF area on a Sunday morning! It's very small inside and had a long line, but went by quickly. The lady who helped me with my order was very kind in explaining all of their special drinks to me. I ordered an iced version of one of the specialty drinks that was similar to a macchiato with honey and cinnamon (can't remember the name), which was $5. There were also lots of people in line with their doggos!

    Came here during a weekend morning while waiting for bread nearby. I saw locals waiting so I thought it'd be an exciting venture :) The shop is super small but homely, pretty standard coffee fair. I got one of their specialties (the spaniard) and it was pretty flavorful! A little on the sweeter side though for my palette Not a bad place to stop by for coffee in the area~

    - a pretty small coffee shop with no seating, they have a side bar by the window where you can stand though - while waiting for your coffee you can look at the cute merchandise they have displayed on the walls - coffee beans, mugs, tote bags - none of the drinks have explanations of what they are so you either have to ask the cashier or look through yelp, which is what i ended up doing - spaniard (4/5): latte sweetened with condensed milk. the coffee could've been a little stronger since i felt like the drink was milkier than a normal latte, but it was very smooth and creamy. you can tell they use quality ingredients! they also give you latte art despite being in a to-go cup which was cute. - probably wouldn't come back unless a friend wanted to go just because i feel like the drink i tried wasn't really my taste, but i would definitely try something else since the quality is there

    Meet the "Spaniard" - really, really muy bueno ($5.50), but in Barcelona I'd prob pay around two euros less for it ;P

    "My grandfather's 86 and he's having a baby. Man, I hope when I'm 86 I can have babies." - Enrique Eh? Maybe not a good idea, Enrique! After a morning jog of a block lol, and some artisan baked bites later, it was time for some good coffee. I didn't have to journey far as just across the street of where I was bunkered down from the rain, I notice a sign for Snowbird Coffee! Independent coffee it is! I quickly Yelp pre-entering (mandatory in the new norm) and immediately notice El Spaniard. Okay this time it has nothing to do with Enrique Iglesias, instead it's a Latté with pretty positive reviews. And on a whim I enter and order El Spaniard! The Barista was very social and confidently said I'd enjoy it! As I wait for my custom El Spaniard, basically a Latté with Expresso and Condensed Cream, to be made, I notice a very cozy interior with natural light and no seating haha, however what it lacks in minimalist furniture, it more than makes up with vintage decor and wicked cool knickknacks. There's also a standup bar near the bay window if need be, or a shared parklet just outside. El Spaniard is ready! Olé!!! I decide to take El Spaniard with me as I slowly walk back on the avenues. Sipping, stopping, sipping, stopping brought me back to my days in Barcelona. The flavors made me smile thinking of myself sipping Spanish coffee in a churros shop. Ahhhh. In the end, I'd return to Snowbird Coffee. Yes, it's on par price wise with other higher-end coffee shops, the menu is limited, but what's on the menu is done right. I just wish they had warm churros... oh well.

We both loved our drinks, and I also appreciated the portion sizes--they were just right and really satisfying. I ordered the Velvet Matcha Cloud (a matcha latte with matcha cloud), and my sister got the Matcha Strawberry Cloud, which includes an organic matcha latte topped with house-made strawberry cloud and dried strawberries. Both drinks were beautifully made and tasted great. They also have a wide variety of drink options beyond matcha, including coffee classics like signature pour-overs and espressos, as well as tea and other hot drinks. Their food menu is just as extensive, offering pastries like crepes, croissants, scones, muffins, and even sandwich bites. I really loved the vibe inside Q! It's very aesthetic with a soft, creamy, almost cozy atmosphere. Since we went last Friday on an afternoon, it was quite busy with a mix of tech workers and college students working at tables, but the space still felt comfortable. The staff were kind and working hard despite how busy it was, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good drinks, a pretty atmosphere, and a productive café environment.

Sometimes you cannot tell the difference from Spring to Summer weather in San Francisco. There is no consistency when the sun will come out. When the sun comes out and Karl the Fog is on vacation people come out and look for something delicious and cold. There is one place you can enjoy a refreshing drink like matcha no matter the weather. It's located on Market street and Noe and it's called Oishii Matcha. On a sunny Market street stroll in San Francisco Don Juan de la Matcha landed at Oishii Matcha. Inside I scrolled and ordered using the kiosk. Since it was hot with the sun was out in the city I got the purple yam the Ube ice cream not on a cone but on a croffle ( part flakey croissant and waffle in SF). The Ube ice cream was not too sweet and was tasty and the croffle was soft and a bit crispy. I then had to wash it down with a refreshing Matcha Mango Latte with foam. The matcha was delicious and hit the spot . Now the only thing to consider next time is which nearby park spot I should hit to enjoy a Matcha. Will it be Dolores Park or Duboce Park or Noe & Beaver Community Garden ?( Questions in my Mind). Come get the real matcha and not the "phony"go to Oishii Matcha because it is organic ceremonial "only" so let's have a tea "ceremony" with Don Juan de La Matcha giving the true matcha "testimony" Fake matcha should be "unlawful" it is tasteless and the flavor is very "awful " at Oishii Matcha you can get the purple Ube ice cream on a "croffle" it's a cross between a flakey croissant and a "waffle"

Just a quiet marble table, a tiny vase with two yellow flowers, and a slice of matcha crepe cake that makes you forget what you were stressed about. I came in on a weekday afternoon and ordered the matcha crepe cake and a passion fruit refresher. The cake is the kind that looks almost too precise to eat. Dozens of paper thin layers stacked with the kind of patience most people reserve for things that actually matter. The matcha flavor is real, not the green tea powder imposter you get everywhere else. The drinks are thoughtful too. Not sweet for the sake of being sweet. You can tell someone actually tasted these before putting them on the menu. The space itself earns its own mention. Marble counters, natural light pouring in from the street, good music at a volume that lets you actually have a conversation. It feels like someone designed it for the experience, not the Instagram photo, which ironically makes it very photogenic. 4.7 stars on Yelp with nearly 300 reviews and I understand every single one of them.
